living taxes
charles sent me a one word email the other day:
DONE!
he had bought me the slow cooker!
it is divine.
tomorrow it gets it’s inaugural performance.
wednesday it also will be used – i have to make a green chicken curry for 16 women. it will be another crock pot attempt.
i went shopping for the supplies today. shopping carts in hong kong are much smaller than they are in north america, and eight double chicken breasts and condensed milk comprised most of the carts entirety. i chose to shop at chi fu, not because the park n shop there also has a wet market which sells flowers and i needed lillies, but because this park n shop is cheaper than other park n shops.
this is a very odd thing about hong kong. although park n shop and wellcome are chain grocery shops, each shop individually prices its items. the most expensive shops tend to be in the most expat centred locations. the price difference between baguio villa and chi fu is substantial, although the distance between the locations is less than 10 minutes.
same product, different deomographic of shoppers, so different prices.
welcome to hong kong.
